[craigyy]

its a progress thread for a reason....

Not necessarily good progress but it's progress, what are the other plans?

 

[craigyy]

rokkor coilies should be ordered within the next week. Not sure about ordering custom springs though for the rear as im not sure how low it will go without the rear rubbing unless i get the arches rolled. going to strip the back this weekend and floor it with some mdf once it comes back from the garage with new brakes and a handbrake lol

 

[craigyy]

Dont think coilies will be ordered anytime soon, Back brake cylinder burst yesterday and has made a big mess of the brakes, so once theyr done and ive payed the bill the coilies will be next!

 

[craigyy]

Not a big update really.. Carbon vinyled my front badge and bought a new set of comfy seats for cheapness. Gonna be a ballache getting the rails to fit but it will be worth it!

Anyone know where to get decent aftermarket shocks for the rear that are stiffer than standard ones? Im getting some rubbing when im going over speed bumps ect and its pretty annoying...

 

[Whiskerz16v]

So what's euro about this?
Needs coilovers... Smaller tyres so you get more lows... Rolled arches custom springs and smoooooothing

 

[craigyy]

Is there anyway of changing the Thread title on this? Sick of people saying that when its a progress thread...

 

[clio-ant]

good progress so far keep itup and this will look nice!!

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Going by the seats though is looks to be heading more towards track look...

I was just pointing out you haven't really made any in roads to making it 'euro'

 

[Dweeb]

me likey likey!

I agree the seats are heading that way but i bought them for comfort more than fitting in with the car, hopefully when i get some coilovers and camber it will start to look alot more 'euro'

Those lights are awful

 

[craigyy]

to be really honest im going off them quickly lol i got them because i liked the halos and they were black, might swap back to the dual optics and spray the inside of them black and some hids

 

[Dweeb]

i quite like those lights mate

 

[Rob]

Get some dual optic headlights and some better rear springs.

I'd suggest a stiffer set of springs should see you having no more scrubbage.

 

[craigyy]

i have dual optics as standard but like the angel eyes too lol spoilt for choice thats my problem lol

 

[bradshaw1759]

if you decied to get ring of the angels let me know. car looks nice btw

 

[craigyy]

Wheels are comming off tomorrow to stop them being ruined, might have a whacky colour going on them too with centre caps. Coilovers are next on the list...

Hey craigy. What did you do with the black bonnet you took off?

 

[matt.lund]

looking good. but you should defo get it lowered on its ass as soon as possiable, and make the colour of the wheels different to stand out. then it will look a lot more euro.

have you tried removing the side strips etc? how much smoothing would it take?

 

[craigyy]

As far as i know its in the skip wanted to keep it but im sure my dads threw it out.

havent tryed removing the side strips, looks like it would take an awful alot of smoothing, was gonna just get them colour coded and smooth the bumpers.

Pressed plates are on order

 

[Whiskerz16v]

look in my thread for a set of smoothed side strips

 

[craigyy]

Bought these last night.. just waiting on them arriving...

im going to be getting custom springs in a few weeks but these wont get fitted until i get a decent set of rear dampers

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Noice have fun paying thru the nose for shortened uprated dampers tho!

 

[craigyy]

The price you pay to have a low car i suppose.. lol

 

[Struggler]

decent set of rear dampers??
whats wrong with the rokkor ones??

 

[craigyy]

Can you buy them serparetly as in rear dampers? thought it was only a full set you could buy from them

 

[Dweeb]

you will be able to buy the rears as well i think

 

[craigyy]

just waiting on the guy gettin back to me that i bought the coilies off if he wants to sell his Gmax sortend dampers as well

 

[craigyy]

Just bought a set of 90mm custom rear springs and Sold my angel eyes. Bought a Hid kit with the money and split my dual optics and sprayed the inserts black. will get pics soon once they are fitted

coilies wont be on for another week or 2 i guess as the guy i bought them off cant post them as his mother has taken ill so i dont want to bug him. looks like im going to have to get thinner tyres on the rear as rubbing is getting a big issue now with it seriously thinking of selling the wheels though and just decking it on the steel wheels because it would probs be alot less hastle but we'l see what happens lol
